Directions: Throughout Spring Semester and also during Week 7, Feb. 23 & 25, we will study approaches and tools useful for creating online portfolios for displaying your writing or other projects. I will show you how to create a wikispaces portfolio, but if you know other interesting ways to accomplish the same goal, please feel free to show me. On your home page, put up your personal profile, as well as an introduction to your entire portfolio. On sidebar pages, copy and paste in the final drafts of your significant personal experience essay, argumentative paper, book review, five short papers, and varied examples of your semester-long reading log and notes. Include at least one page from your book log/journal of the best quotations and/or your ideas and reactions to the book you have been reading all semester, explanatory notes, graphics, videos, prefaces (brief descriptions of each paper you write explaining how you decided on your topic and what kind of style or approach you used in writing each paper), and other touches to personalize and creatively organize your work. I will supply you with two books that we will be using throughout the semester to give you writing and reading practice and ideas for your own portfolio: Metaphor and Weber Writes. In addition, here are links of sample portfolios from my former students:
